Name: Scott Wunungmurra

Community: Gapuwiyak

Biography:

Scott lives in Gapuwiyak, yet comes to Beswick often as his partner's family lives here. He and his wife both paint, often collaboratively producing works. He is new to artefact making and currently learning to paint using a handmade Jarlk grass reed brush. Alternatively he uses a fine bristled modern brush for the fine line or Raark work. He is not afraid to use brighter colours, stepping away from the more traditional black, white, ochre red and ochre yellow colours. Scott also carves wood using a variety of hand and powered tools.
